– Brown ground round in a large pot – drain most but not all of the fat – Put back into pan.
– Add chopped onion and mix with the ground round
– Add tomato sauce and one can of water
– Add Kidney beans
– Add seasonings
– Mix and let simmer on low for at least an hour (2 or 3 is best)
This makes enough for about 8 people – I typically double or even triple the recipe for a crowd.

I serve fresh French bread and butter with chili. You could serve with soda crackers, dinner rolls or whatever strikes you as a good accompaniment.
